Superbly situated central modern townhouse with south facing walled garden and private car parking
7b Saxon Street is a modern townhouse constructed during the late 1990’s of brick elevations with double glazed timber windows beneath a slate roof. The house is one of a group of similar homes constructed around a secluded central courtyard. The property extends to 1,438 sq ft (134 sq m) of accommodation laid out over ground, first floor and second floor following a loft conversion in 2003. The house is accessed via a narrow characterful cobbled street which links Panton Street and Brookside, literally 250m behind the Catholic Church, into a covered storm porch with hallway with oak herringbone flooring. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with ‘U’ shaped work surfaces with a comprehensive range of matching white cabinetry and integrated fridge/freezer, electric oven and gas hob along with integrated dishwasher, there is space for a four-seater breakfast table and chairs and a large pantry/larder cupboard. Of particular note, is the large open plan sitting/reception room situated to the rear which has a wide and tall bay sash window, an extensive range of book shelving, gas fireplace with marble surround, again with herringbone flooring and has glazed double doors to the rear garden. A WC and cloaks cupboard within the hallway completes the ground floor accommodation.
There are three bedrooms at first floor which include two large doubles, the principal room to the rear has glazed double doors to a small terrace, ideal for sitting out and overlooks the garden below and has an en suite bathroom with half bath and a shower over. The main bathroom is fitted with original white sanitaryware and has a shower over the bath.
The seller converted the loft space during 2003 to create a bedroom/studio room/home office, again, with a delightful terrace accessed via glazed double doors, along with a range of built in wardrobes/stationary storage. This could be an ideal space for perhaps a young teenager or those who might like to accommodate a lodger.
Outside the property is a mainly walled lawned garden with manageable lawned area and well stocked mature shrub beds, there is a range of cycle/tool and bins stores, along with a pedestrian gate leading out into the scheme's parking area, where there is one allocated space and a number of visitors spaces all accessed via a security barrier along Brookside.

An absolute gem, right in the city centre, but secluded and peaceful with parking too….
